Default Re: Higher value 69 Chevelle COPO 427 or L-78/L89?

In STOCK trim, the 2 engines are probably close to 1hp per cubic inch, which gives the edge to the L-72, by about 30hp. The weight savings of the L-89 is probably around 150(?) pounds. I would rather have the 30hp .

And like Pete said, the 396 Nova that was mentioned earlier probably shouldn't be used as a reference...I'm thinking it's not quite stock.
